A Rockwood man is accused of fleeing from police in a gold Ford Explorer last week.

Colton Matthew Pennington reportedly damaged a resident’s yard and boat in the process.

Rockwood Police Department Sgt. Kelly Pittman charged him with vandalism, introducing contraband into a penal institution, resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia, manufacture/delivery/sale or possession of methamphetamine, evading arrest, driving on a revoked license, leaving the scene of an accident and failure to report an accident.

Veterans of the U.S. Navy’s “silent service” have created a one of a kind scale replica nuclear missile submarine for use in parades and events.

Members of the Smoky Mountain Base of U.S. Submarine Veterans built the more than 40-foot-long 1/10th scale replica of the 425ft U.S.S. Andrew Jackson (SSBN-619) at a metal-working shop in Spring City.

The replica sub presently parked in Kingston has appeared in veterans parades in Knoxville and won first prize in the Oliver Springs Christmas Parade last month.
